I don't buy a bike because how it looks.

Really  :D

Ah, always good to get a measured, intelligent response.

It's clear from your comment as well as your profile, you haven't got the hang of things around here yet    

Do your homework .....

Mustang, you`d be barred from the other site for that post :) and dickenbacker, how can you buy a bike and not take its looks into account :?: I still smile when I open the shed and my Girlies sat there, but if it was a beaker(800) I`d probably take a stick to it

Agree with Mustang tho...all bikes are starting to look alike. Check out a few sportsbikes in silhouett? and name them. Same with the Beaker and BM its only the motor that seperates them :(

Each to his own boys, even the naughty boys, you're supposed to be setting an example Mustang  :roll:

If I see anyone with a stick near my XC I'll deck them   , on the other hand if you happen to be visiting my garage where I keep the Roadie I keep a big stick behind the door specifically for that purpose  :lol:  but the truth I admit myself is that somebody in the design department beat us to it with the ugly stick  :lol:

[Rocinante]

I wish they would quit tryin to copy others looks and just let the tigger be it's own unique breed  :D

Amen from me too.

The new style reminds me of, except a Beemer of course, the Lego toys my son has all over the house. Lots of small parts carefully put together into a kind of Starwars/Transformer/Ninjago/whatever monster.

Imagine all the new hardware in a Steamer related wrapping. That would have been interesting.

Oh the joys of internet banter.

Just two points here.

Point 1: No, I don't really bother too much what a bike looks like. I think I've owned some of the most boring and ugly bikes in most people's eyes but if I like riding them then I don't care.

Point 2: Please delete my account Mr Moderator.

Shiny side up.

Point 1. As I had said to me many years ago,50% of owning a bike is walking past it in the garage and thinking 'Yea thats OK'

Point 2.
A biker with thin skin!!! thats a baaaaaad combo  :D

Point 3
We still didn't find out were he came from on his profile :lol:

Point 4.
I like Mustangs edge,he doesn't suffer fools gladly,thats a plus in my book,although in the 58 years of my life I've found folk prefer BS rather than the truth  :roll:  re the other site :(

[Sin_Tiger]

There used to be a numpty in my college ski club whom I had some sympathy for as his family name was Coxhead. If your born with that it's unfortunate but if you have a choice ------- well  :roll:

Well, that was short and sweet, and since the last few posts of this thread are not typical of the banter on here ie no-one normally trolls or flames....  Black Hole anyone???   :lol:

[Chris Canning]

Troll/Flame I didn't see either I saw an exchange of views so what!!

[Chris Canning]

Getting back to the bike,I'd have put side panels on were there nothing,a one piece seat, and intergrated the headlight shell with the lower part of the screen and and had a smaller screen(at the same height),everyone(screen) I've had marks up within months so much so I keep a stock,which can normally aquired after the bike has been out a while at a decent price off the net.

I've no doubt it'll be a good bike the engineers normally do a good job,but I'd have the designers put up against the wall  :D

I reprimanded myself ok?
 

clean up in aisle 3........................

I wondered what it was that appealled to me, so I screwed my eyes up and realised the strong shoulders reminded me of the Steamer  :shock:  is that heresy?
